Fantasy Friday: Week 9

Note: I try to pick less obvious players. I’m not going to tell you to play Peyton Manning or LaDainian Tomlinson or Randy Moss. No kiddin’, Sherlock.

Warning: I’m not immune to accidentally suggesting a player that might be injured and out for the week — or even the season. As much as I follow the game, mistakes can happen. If it does happen, just give me a polite jab and I’ll correct myself.

Thumbs Up

The following players should have favorable matchups this week. Their chances of success are greater due to tendencies by the opponent’s defense.

Quarterbacks

Kyle Orton, Chi vs. Detroit
The Lions have one of the worst pass defenses in the league. It’ll be colder this game, but a month ago against Detroit, Orton had 334 yards and 2 TDs.

Kurt Warner, Ari vs. St. Louis
Warner’s been on fire this year and it should continue against a bad Rams pass defense.
